Wasn't that the one that basically said the more crap a person had in their car to "personalize" it, the more likely they were to view the roadways as being "their road?" So watch out for people with stuff hanging from their mirrors. Or the cutesy bows or whatnot on the end of their antenna.
Not sure what he plans to do with all the current inmates. Last I heard, no prison in the US will take them. And many of their countries refuse to take them back.
I guess he could just set them free... Put 'em on welfare... yeah, that's the ticket.
I mean, really, who didn't think the liberal media would be singled out? You kids were born too late to remember McCarthy, and Hoover's FBI, apparently.
True enough. I can't access Google Docs from work, for instance: Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "Personal Network Storage;Interactive Web Applications"
There ARE more than two parties. They're just not allowed to participate in the debates. Rectify that, and you'll see real change. The Republocrats are just two peas in the same pod, with very little to differentiate themselves from each other.
If third parties are on the majority of states' ballots, they should be automatically invited to the televised debates, period. If the two major parties have all the answers, then they should have nothing to fear.
From the article: "Happily, the Inspiron Mini 12 adopts a more standard sub-note layout with near full-size keys (a quick measure of a prised-off letter key came in at 1.8mm x 1.7mm, but we could be out by a few mils)."
That's like 0.071 X 0.067 inches. Does it come with a stylus for those keys?
If this goes far enough, there will be threats of action regarding a blatant disregard of international commerce treaties. Seems to me that point came up before when the US tried to shutdown off-shore gambling.
All we need to do is cut spending and increase taxes.
We don't even need to increase taxes. Simply cutting spending will do it eventually. The problem is, no one wants to give up their pet government program. Face it, if taxpayers were willing to give up the "services" they seem to think is in the federal government's realm, we could pay down the nat'l debt and when that was accomplished, reduce taxes to next-to-nothing. But everyone seems to think that the federal government knows best and is the most efficient when it comes administering local programs. *Sigh*
Oh well. Pretty soon it won't matter. We're well on our way to government-owned banks, General Motors is slated to become our first government-owned automobile manufacturer, and there's really not much of a difference in the major two parties in that regard.
"This is why I recommend people use paid ISPs for their real E-mail accounts, and perhaps use Yahoo, Google, or Rocketmail for registering on spammy websites where they want an E-mail address so they can make their advertisers happy."
Guess what? More and more "paid ISPs" are cutting costs and decommissioning their mail servers in favor of Google Apps/Gmail. ISP.com, for example, is currently switching their users over.
[I] see no reason why the schools shouldn't teach what everyone (around them) already believes.
How about because it's fantasy? How about because it's religious fundamentalism masquerading as science? How about because it puts all those students that are subjected to this behind the eight-ball when it comes to getting jobs in the real world? What if "everyone around them" believed in leprechauns? Does that make it "fact?"
Teach "creationism" in a philosophy course, if you must, but not as science, and not with any semblance or reference to it being "the truth," or as fact as we know it. Otherwise, these kids will never work in any technical field, and their mantra will be, "you want fries with that?"
*Shakes head* I fear for our future generations, and our future in general.
Luckily, I'm old enough that I'll likely be dead before the meltdown occurs, and won't have to experience it. Gee, what a silver lining that is. Meh.

Hot soldering iron tip through the lens. I've heard that works; I've no real experience with it.

Should be interesting to see how much (or how little) things change under Obama, dontcha think?
Not news.

Let's see...I pop in a new card, the camera LCD screen says, "Memory card is not formatted. Format now? Y/n?"
Hmmm. Yep, it's a quandary. Makes you wonder how people ever managed to thread a 35mm leader onto a spool in ancient times.
I can't believe the other "two local data recovery firms" got stumped by this simple problem.
Really. I wonder what the names of those two firms are, so we'll know who NOT to go to.
No? Then it's gonna suck.
...at least, that what the desktopnexus.com says now. :-(
That was quick.

Mostly Skytel. Commodity bill per one-way pager is about $32 per month.

Yeah, I am sorry but I'll take socialism before this fricken military despotism.
Be careful what you wish for.
I work for a WELL-known IT hardware/software giant that goes by a TLA. They just issued me a new 1-way pager.
So there, ha!
Typically, absentee ballots and any other form of mail-in votes are not even counted unless the outcome is very close and/or disputed.
Insert obligatory "the more you tighten your grip....etc.

Oh, look. An asshat.
How cute.
Still waiting for their e-mail saying a native Linux port is available.
I gots no use for Windows apps.

That would be "God's Will."
What? Isn't that what they always say when confronted with logic and truth?
I ask them, "Shouldn't you be out spreading religiosity to all the fuzzy-wuzzies everywhere?"
(With apologies to Joss Whedon's Malcolm Reynolds character)

I saw a t-shirt the other day that said:
SCIENCE
It Works, Bitches!
I thought it was funny...
